Before the eighteenth century, most people in Europe and other parts of the world were
dependent mainly on agriculture, fishing or trade as their means of living (Ahuti, S. 2015).
machinery in Europe and especially in Britain which radically transformed the shape of
their economies from an agricultural one to industrial materialistic one (Ahuti, S. 2015).
The Industrial Revolution started in Britain in 1700s and after that it spread in other
European countries along with the USA (Ahuti, S. 2015). The development of industry
and means of transportation in those countries have created material wealth to them
(Gulzar, A. 2015). However, due to this transition to industry, many people who live in
rural areas immigrated to live in urban areas and this led to over crowdedness of urban
areas. Thus, it could be argued that the Industrial Revolution is the main reason behind
activities and relations on a global scale (Ahuti, S. 2015). Moreover, the Industrial
Revolution was accompanied by a huge consumption of fuel and especially coal and then
oil. The more the industries, the more the use of fuel (Chandrappa, R., Gupta, R., &
have led to CO2 emissions which is reported to be a direct cause of global warming, sea
level rise and climate change (Chandrappa, R., Gupta, R., & Kulshrestha, U. 2011).Thus,
the Industrial Revolution is the root cause behind global warming and its associated
environmental problems including the distinction of many species of animals and birds,
the melting of the polar ice, sea level rise, rising tides and strong storms such as Tsunami
which started in the late 19th century (Davut, 2008). This is because industrialization has
helped to multiply production and to minimize the prices of finished products in a dramatic
way. When the home markets of industrialized nations were saturated with products, they
thought of shipping their goods to developing countries which were colonies to the
industrialized nations at the last half of the 19 th century (Davut, 2008). Then, massive
production in the 20th centuries led many companies to expand worldwide and this led to
However, the industrial revolution and globalization have many negative impacts
including the intensive use of traditional fossil fuel which result in air pollution and global
warming (Davut, 2008). CO2 emissions is increasingly due to burning of fossil fuels and
this leads to climate change, melting of the polar ice and many harmful diseases to people
(Davut, 2008).
In conclusion, the Industrial Revolution has clear associations with the current
growth of production has led many companies to expand their production in other
of fuel which led to pollution of the air, global warming and climate change.
